This is an Encore park and I expected better from them. The roads are paved and so are the spots. The spots are one on top of the other with barely room to open the slide. The utilities are on the wrong side so the cords and hoses have to be drug under the camper. Site 391 is possibly the worst one. A huge tree in the back so you can only back up so far. Then the utility hook ups are honestly at your door. After plugging in, the power would not work until hubby wiggled the plug. There was no room for our car. We had to park in a neighbors spot. We brought this to the attention of the manager with no satisfaction. - esta34950

This is a "trailer park" that allows RVs. Old park with sites not designed for modern RVs such as sewer dumps found under trailer parking sites, electrical connections with face plates missing and open to the elements. - Scenic Cruiser

They had a spot for us at last minute in January! So that’s good, sites were really small but they all had a nice table and chairs. We squeezed our 36’ fifth wheel into a little while and were able to open the slides, but nice grass area nearby to run the dogs. Pretty pricey. - Tim Thiemann

This park is VERY tight! Some of the sites were recently redone, and now are so close together when your neighbor puts out his/her slide, it encroaches on your patio. You pay for the use of a patio and grill and can't use it because of the RV next to you. The wifi is basically non-existent, even though they claim to have wifi. This park has no amenities and sits along a busy highway right in town. It is way overpriced. If there were amenities, I could understand the high cost, being in the city. There is a pet fee, with no dog park or any amenities for your pet. I would not recommend this park to anyone!!! - Mr Bates

Park is beautiful, has lots of activities, plenty of walking/bike riding paths and a seasonal pool/water park. The pads are paved and have very nice patios. Staff is somewhat friendly but not very competent. Basically, they are your routine county government employees. Signage is almost all pictograms, so if you don't read children's drawings, you will have difficulty finding the campground. Gates are VERY narrow, so take care when entering. We lost a mirror on the way in. Roads are sometimes too narrow for 2 motorhomes to pass. Sites are poorly designed. If you don't have plenty of sewer and water hose, you will need to park deep in the rear part of the site or go buy some more. Each site has a charcoal grill and picnic table. Some sites are PULL-IN, NOT pull-through! It is clear that whoever designed the place knew nothing about the needs of RVers. If you park near the utilities, you can't use the patio. If you park near the patio, you will need up to 30' of hoses. Make your reservation early. In the winter, November till March or April, it is full of snow birds. In the summer, tourists take over. However, depending on your need, reservations are fairly easy to change. Will I return? Probably not. - eternalskeptic

Well, not quite sure where to start. Very low trees before you get into park. When you past the entrance the trees get lower and more plentiful. Before I got into office, already wiped out a vent cover and an AC cover. Got up to the park itself and all was well except for brush running down the sides. Plugged in to find out we had very low voltage on L2. Next day we lost power to no ground. My week stay was great. Will never return. - xflyhighx

Nice county park. Paved roads. The entrance is a bit tight for a big rig. You don't have to pay during the week and you get a 'pass' for use on the weekends. Office staff were super. I-95 traffic is terrible, but this inexpensive park made up for the stress. Laundry was clean. Didn't use the rest rooms. We had site 59 or 29 (I don't remember) but it was on a corner and it was a little tough turning 90 degrees to get the motorhome on the pad, but we went slowly and all was good. Road within the park is a bit narrow. Alos, as one reviewer 'complained', if you return to the park after hours, you need to enter through the exit lane. Not a problem as traffic is not exiting after the park closes. - rlhoge

As others have noted, this park is centrally located in a busy metroploitan area. It is well maintained and features paved roads and sites and is priced fairly. It has a lot of what we want in an rv park but its not perfect. There were a lot of overhanging trees that need to be trimmed. Everyone in our pull through row exited by backing out of their site. Too many trees in the way of a front exit. During the week and on all overnights there is no gates or security on site. I didn't have any problems but locals do cruise the park. I will not book a weekend again. 9 hour concert on the saturday we were there. We couldn't take the booming bass so we went out during the day to escape the noise. Came back about 3pm and had to wait in line about 15 minutes to enter the park. Cars filled the park everywhere....lots of concert goers strolling the park. It was over shortly after dark. Sunday was much better but a ski boat towing hollering tubers all afternoon was less than peaceful. The location and nicely maintained park make up for the inconveniences so I'll likely be back but not on a weekend. - Kbob

We camp here every spring and fall. Last year we gave the park a very good rating but not so this time. The site we received was dirty with paper and cigarette butts down in the grass which means the site had not been cleaned for some time. The ground crew come regularly to pick up the dumpsters to empty them but do not pick up trash and cans nearby on the grass. The park just has a very unkempt look about it. Also the laundry area is dirty with plenty of cobwebs. On the positive side, the office staff is very professional and helpful. I hope that the park does improve for it is still the best there is in the area. - Nautilus

Been here many times and have seen a different in the past years. Water is low pressure and the power and get low also. It need upgrading. Power boxes are getting old. The trees need trimming so you do not scrape your rig. Pretty level spots. Nice area and just about the only place around to camp. - neilontheroad

The park is directly in the flight path of Ft. Lauderdale airport. Planes start about 6am and don't end until about 10am. the planes are so low it cuts out the TV signal!!! No laundry, no restrooms and what are supposed to be cute Palm Fron shaded "huts" have no roof and just the frame is sitting there. This is where you go when you have no where else to go. I should have listened to the older reviews on this place, they are clearly the only honest ones. - RV maniac

I stayed at this park from May 2016 until February 2017. I am a construction worker and had a project in Port Everglades. This park deserves a 9 or a 10 due to the owner and her commitment to her guests. The park is clean and well maintained. We had absolutely no problems with the park or the staff. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. I gave the park an 8 because of the airport primarily. It is probably unfair to down rate it just for that reason but it is a significant inconvenience. I joked about there being wheel marks on top of my trailer. Those planes come in low and loud. They generally stop by 11pm and do not typically restart until after 5am but there are times when there are flights overnight and those can be annoying. I would/will stay here again even knowing what I know. I paid the off season rate because of the time of year that I got here. Our cost did not change just because the season changed and the snowbirds started flocking in. The owner told me up front that my rate would stay consistent during my stay. She could have been greedy but she wasn't and that's honorable. The yard guys come around once every couple of weeks and her maintenance guy is in there cleaning up and looking after the place. She does not let the yard guys start at the crack of dawn which is respectful. I would absolutely stay here again. I absolutely recommend this park. - jeffj

This site is just off I 95 - and Ravenswood Rd. Clean - friendly - boat space- able to get out easily. Easy to get to the beach - Great restaurants in the area. Within walking distance to bus service and Tri-Rail. - Georgette_63

This is a large park, with many permanent sites. Very small sites, all paved. It is located in a highly industrialized area of Ft. Lauderdale, surrounded by scrap metal yards, lift rentals, etc. Most of the traffic on the road to the park is dump trucks and it is surrounded by highways. It is also located directly under the runway approach for landing aircraft to Ft. Lauderdale airport. On the good side, it was fairly friendly, the Wi-Fi was mostly OK, although it was intermittent at times. It is centrally located, so you can get to wherever you want to go fairly well. What I found most interesting is that English is the minority language. It is overwhelmingly French Canadian. - gsgroff

If you enjoy sitting at the departure end of a major airport and hearing screaming jets fly over every few minutes, then this place is for you! In addition, we were given site S4, which is one of the sites right up against busy Burris Road. Let me out of here! Thankfully, it was only a 3-night stay, and I have no idea how the hundreds of Canadian folks can live here for weeks or months. The woman who "greeted" us at the front gate was not at all friendly, and I'm sure she won't mind that we'll never be back. Sites for RV's were very tight, although the concrete pad was nice and level. Water pressure was extremely high - don't forget your regulator. 50-amp power was adequate. Verizon reception was great, and a strong picnic table was available at most sites. Bathrooms were very nice, and clean, but the showers did not provide shelves or benches for items I would want to take with me. The laundry machines required that you purchase a $5.00 card and charge it at their machine - no thanks, I'll wait for the next stop! There was a nice walking/biking path along nearby Orange Drive that we enjoyed. Good grocery stores and other services were fairly close by. I'm sorry, but I fail to find anything about this park that warrants $65 per day. Oh, here comes another jet - gotta go! - LowesTravels

Sites are small, close together. Most are permanent or semi-permanent. The location is convenient to the highways, in an industrial area. It is also directly under the landing path for Ft. Lauderdale airport, so there is a continuous stream of jets overhead. At our site, the WIFI was mostly OK. Water was good. Staff was friendly. It is a very popular place for Quebecois, so many of the guests here are French speaking. Kind of a culture shock, but interesting! This is not necessarily a negative, just an observation. - gsgroff

Staff are very helpful and can provide lots of info for the area even if they don't appear to love their jobs. The website and site brochure are a bit misleading as the 8 laundry locations have been reduced to 3 and some other facilities have changed. The park is on the flight path for the airport which can be very busy. They park is generally well maintained especially in the large area occupied by the seasonal Quebec population. Most signs in the park are only in French. Wi-Fi is okay and they offer RV storage. We would stay again if in the area for a short time. - lrp374

Sites are close together, but then again we are close to Ft. Lauderdale and surrounding cities. Site backed up to a canal and amazing yachts passing all day. Streets are tight and very "rolling" so your RV will be rocking in and out. No place to hook up the tow vehicle so everyone backs up and blocks the exit road so the locals get aggravated. Most sites are occupied by winter seasonal residents and we definitely felt like outsiders. We waved, they looked and turned away. That said, the office staff were very nice. - Russell01

Was able to secure a last minute reservation in Jan for 4 nights after a mix-up at the KOA. That was a God-send. Park is adjacent to I-95 with a good amount of road noise. Turned the AC fan on at night and mitigated it. Park is built around a marina. Paid for a water-front site, but had one of the largest privately owned boats that I have ever seen parked at the dock immediately behind our RV, so no water view at all, though did have a boardwalk to walk on. Roads in this park are terrible. Speedbumps difficult to navigate in an RV and patholes galore, expecially on the road out of the park. Seem to be many permanent RVs in the park, though most in good condition. Convenient to interstates 95 and 75/595 and shopping is nearby. When exiting the park, can only turn right so going to the beaches requires a u-turn up the street. Overall, a satisfactory stay, but nothing to be excited about. Getting the last minute reservation was a savior though. - NC Bill

As mentioned by other reviewers the park needs a lot of work - it seems they're working on improvements as the shower/restroom is brand new and excellent. Our site was level and convenient but we were directed to another site that we couldn't get into because of randomly parked trucks or cars. The staff is extremely helpful. Wifi was OK and sites not too crowded. - Catsinatrailer

Very tired looking campground. Our site was appropriately spaced. Wifi was really slow and only 2 devices per site. Staff were very helpful. Don't arrive early as they may charge you. Laundry is only half working with half of everything broken. I would stay again if I was in the area. It was quite. Had a turtle that you could feed. The buildings were old. - Aussie Chums

On short notice, in high season, we needed an RV campsite to visit my dying brother in law. Everywhere I called no one had any openings. The staff at the Davie KOA went above and beyond to help us. They actually called me back to set us up for the first night and then continued to help until they had us settled for the duration of our stay. Many heartfelt thanks to great people. The campground itself is not large. They had some damage from most recent hurricane so their dog park was out of commission and they were doing work on damaged sites. The sites are close together but even with that we didn't have any noise issues. The main road through is one way which can get held up with campers pulling in and out. Everything was clean and their activities were in full swing. We have a 39 foot motorhome with slides. The campground is very conveniently located to shopping, restaurants and to Cleveland Clinic hospital. - cdr1182
